Since we are using the /tp command to teleport ourselves to our current location, Minecraft will display our current coordinates in the lower left corner of the game window.

In this example, our current XYZ coordinates in the map are:

XYZ: (177,76,310)

For simplicity, we are going to round our coordinates, even though the /tp command shows the coordinates with decimal places.
